Ultras: Passion and Death

In the early 1980s, football fans in Spain began to form dedicated and organized groups known as "ultras." But what began as passionate outlets to champion beloved teams such as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid soon turned into bastions of violence, far-right ideology, and skinhead fashion -- with some ultras groups ruling the streets of Spanish cities and instilling fear into the hearts of locals. After four decades and three major crimes, officials began to crack down on the ultras, leading investigators to question the prevalence of their violent members in the stands. An eye-opening glimpse into the intersection of sports fandom and violence, this three-part documentary offers a revealing study of an infamous subculture as told by investigators, officials, and former members.

Liverpool Narcos

In the 1980s, Liverpool became the hub of a drug boom that reshaped Britain. Criminal networks pioneered lucrative markets for heroin, ecstasy and cocaine, exploiting dockside smuggling, family links abroad and local influence. Powerful kingpins flaunt wealth, forge ties with the Cali Cartel and even reach the Sunday Times Rich List. The drug trade mimics Liverpool’s changing fortunes: the heroin epidemic of the 1980s, the ecstasy-fueled nightclub boom of the early 1990s, and violent drug wars later that decade. The story is told through traffickers, users, and the police and customs officers caught off guard by a surge in drugs.
